M6 thread repair tips?
« on: Today at 07:08:09 AM »
 I have a head or two that are pretty nice except the M6 threads are pulled. What are the best repair options for helicoil, timesert, big sert? How deep do the threads need to go?

I've used helicoils with good results. I would get a 1.5d  kit(the length of the insert is 1.5 times the width of fastener). I am no expert by any means, but cycleX advertises using helicoils in their cylinder blocks. They should be plenty strong enough to use in the head.
